There are no “cookie cutter” treatments on our side of the street.

Our doctors are trusted specialists in chiropractic care and Atlas Orthogonal Upper Cervical Therapy.

You’re more than just a “patient” to us. We’re family, and family is always there for each other. We’ll get to the root of your pain, no matter how long it takes. At Cascade Chiropractic, you’ll always get the time and attention you deserve. That’s a promise, and that’s a promise we’ll keep.

I admit I was a little nervous because I was in pain, but after being adjusted by the chiropractor I felt so much better and could fully turn my neck again. I was amazed that the doctor could fix my pain and the problem with just his hands. Continually I am amazed by my ability to help others in this same way using my hands as tool to heal.”

Brandy E. (Post Concussion)

David R. (neck pain)

Hoda E. (back pain)

Jim D. (wellness care)

My lower jaw shifted and developed TMJ pain. I went through a four-year painful orthodontic treatment as an adult. When the treatment was completed, it did not cure the problem. So my bite was not adjusted. I continued to live in pain, headaches and discomfort. I started with massage therapy and chiropractic care to ease my pain.

Eventually, I started with the chiropractor, Dr. Rick Allen. In 2013, he hired Chris Cooper who was a senior student at UWS Chiropractic College in Portland. Chris was fresh blood to the chiropractic office. He worked on my neck with special tools called “adhesion breakers”. The new technique speeded my treatment produced phenomenal results. It changed my life. As a result, I began to feel so much better.

Chris graduated from the Chiropractic College in 2013. Dr. Chris Cooper is a young enthusiastic chiropractor with new ideas. He is very concentrated and focuses on his work and strives to the full satisfaction of his patients.

I would recommend Dr. Cooper to any body that had unsuccessful orthodontic and TMJ problems. He brightened my life and made me very happy.
